criminal behavior (Plante, 2015). The lack of financial stability amongst ex-offenders also hinders their access to treatment and medication. And if they are able to afford treatment or if they have to comply with the conditions of probation or parole, they may not have access to adequate transportation or childcare. It is also important to recognize that incarceration, especially long-term, a makes it difficult for an individual to create and maintain social relationships (Plante, 2015). Therefore, upon their release, an offender may lack the support and stability that they need from their family and friends. In 1999, Attorney General Janet Reno questioned correctional officials about what was being done to manage prisoners being released from prisons and recognized that little attention had been given to this issue (Byrd, 2016). In response to Janet Reno’s question, Jeremy Travis, the director of the National Institute of Justice at the time, began a reentry movement (Byrd, 2016). Since then, states and the federal government have started to take action in order to address some of these barriers and help offenders successfully reintegrate back into the community. For example, President George W. Bush’s Second Chance Act (SCA) was enacted in order to reduce recidivism and improve public safety. The SCA supports both state and local governments as well as nonprofit organizations in working to improve the conditions for offenders being released while also aiming to reduce…

Is it a cliché to say that Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is my favorite fiction novel of all time? In this last spring semester I took a film and literature class that was dedicated to Jane Austen. In my opinion, she is absolutely brilliant. Pride and Prejudice is about an older couple and their five daughters. By no means are they wealthy. So, their mother, Mrs. Bennet, stresses out to find them a suitable man. All of the daughters except one believe that a man of fortune is the key to…

sound exactly the same as they do on their albums, which creates a problem. Many bands took pride in improvisation. The Grateful Dead never performed the same concert twice, which is the way concerts should be. Fans pay ridiculous amounts of money in order to see musicians perform live, and are cheated when artists feel the need to lip sync to their songs. It is a tremendous honor for musicians when they are selected to headline a major event such as the Super Bowl or the Grammys. There are…
This angle caused what it was looking down on to appear small and vulnerable. An example of this was when detective Arbogast (Martin Balsam) entered into the house. “We see Arbogast coming up the stairs. And now we see, too, the door of the mother 's room, opening, carefully and slowly.As Arbogast reaches the landing, the door opens and the mother steps out, her hand raises high, the blade of an enormous knife flashing”(Citation/script). This causes Arbogast to look like prey. This foreshadows…
